5 Best Udemy Courses for Learning Software Development

Today, I want to share the top five software development courses on Udemy. This is a curated list of courses that I’ve personally taken, my fellow computer science colleagues have taken, or the great people from the community of my iOS Development YouTube channel have taken and recommended.

Regardless of whether you’re just starting out or a veteran in the space of software development, I’m confident you’ll find something on this list to take your software development skills to the next level.

Sample Review:“A rare high-quality course from a team of professionals who really love what they do. Everything is explained in an easy-to-understand language. Moreover, the course doesn’t only allow you to learn Swift, but also teaches a lot of important stuff that will be very useful for the future job.”

Sample Review:“This is a well-polished course, which has a good coverage as well as depth. The screens and the general flow of each lesson is cohesive, and both instructors are very easy to listen to and understand. I loved the fact that they updated the course with some additional topics half way through my study. That showed they actively improving the content and not like some courses just been published and forgotten.“

Sample Review:“Colt is clear and methodical with his teaching. He gives step-by-step versions of all of his apps so you can error-check against your version and if this doesn’t work, the TA team are brilliant at getting back with answers to queries (assuming that it hasn’t been answered already in the FAQs, which it probably has).“

Sample Review:“I think it’s very clear and informative. I already know programming but like the fact that Mark Price goes through useful game programming steps. Like picking the good stuff out of the cake, which is what I like.”
